Here's an odd one...
Recently, some time around the 26th of this month, sendmail/dovecot on two
separate FC3 systems started failing to send messages over a specific
size. It appears to be something in the spooling so I think it's sendmail
not dovecot that's not working.
mail -s 'this is a test' root < /var/log/messages
Appears to queue the message, but if I check root's mail it has none.
mail -s 'this is a test' root < /opt/a_much_smaller_file
Works fine.
It doesn't matter what file it is or where it is, but if it's over approx:
5000 lines it doesn't send.
The very odd thing is, if I re-boot the server all the mail that hasn't
been sent yet sends. Then large messages won't send again until the next
re-boot.
Restarting sendmail or dovecot has no effect and there aren't any errors
anywhere.
Was there a bad sendmail patch on the yum archives recently or something?
Anyone have any idea what I should be looking at?
